A Boy’s First Book of Chlamydia: Poems 1996 - 2002

Daniel f. Bradley has been developing his craft in Toronto for the last 20 years with little to no recognition from literary critics. In fact, despite the vast body of work that has appeared, Daniel has never sought a public larger than what he can touch with his own senses. In a similar fashion, Daniel’s poetry is immediate and intimate - a poetry that cleans language to a point millimeters before abstraction can occur. With an uncanny and fetishistic urban lyricism that has quietly claimed its own linguistic territory in the heart of Toronto, the poetry of Daniel f. Bradley attempts to be nothing more than language pure and simple. BookThug is proud to present this first full-length trade edition by the poet who wrote the poem from which BookThug takes its name.
